Bad loss but people saying playoffs over?????????????? we are 6th as it stands??????????
It's pretty drastic when you can't raise a team after losing at home to bloody Fleetwood...not good enough, not good enough at all....something is amiss in that team, there are some good players.....JOB going was plain weird ( yes I think he should probably grow a pair, 'I don't like hotels' bollocks etc) but letting him go signaled something was up

Put this way then .....
We are getting pummeled to death by Mike Tyson but are still on our feet and haven't been knocked out yet.

Common themes on here tonight (other than Ricketts not being up to it):
Can't string passes together/lose possession easy.
Want to walk it into the net.
Either the players aren't capable, or it's tactics and training.

We could have all but sealed a play-off place by now.

We were 7 points ahead of 6th we're now 15 points behind 1st.
The teams in 7th, 8th and 9th can overtake us with one win.

3 wins in 15 matches.
That makes sense unfortunately. Realism kicking in, that's all.

Bet there are similar meltdowns on Sheff Utd, Gillingham, Peterboro (looked like Brazil against West Brom - now lost 5 in a row?)Bradford and Southend threads tonight.
Let's all have a sulk together:facepalm:
Win the next game and we're off again.... (Mr Optimist

Of course we shouldn't write them off, we are still in 6th. But it now seems week after week where we are saying we must win the next match to get things back on track and we don't. We're been really lucky with other results but the gap has been getting smaller and smaller.

Yes but again why does that mean the playoffs are over? Our fans are so suicidal when we go on a bad run haha, mind you after supporting the club for 20 years i can understand why :\

I hate to agree with you on this but unfortunately I do. It's not the results but the performances. It's that lack of passion on the pitch and in the management. Where is the pride in the shirt. Where is the spirit we had in the opening months. When we were two nil down and being outplayed by Peterborough we changed the game by taking the fight to them. Last two games totally lacklustre. Can't believe it's the same bunch

This is Coventry City though, Harry. We don't do play-offs and we do, do after Christmas slumps.Bet there are similar meltdowns on Sheff Utd, Gillingham, Peterboro (looked like Brazil against West Brom - now lost 5 in a row?)Bradford and Southend threads tonight.

All those clubs above have done play-offs and been promoted.
Even if they are down they must believe they will bounce back.
City seemingly don't do bounce backs either.

At the start I didn't. But in November when we were top playing some lovely football then not only did I dream of promotion but yes I actually believed we were good enough for the playoffs and even thought autos looked a reasonable bet

After being starved of success for so many years any glint of hope esculates into we will be champions and get carried along on the wave until the tide turns...seemingly another false dawn is on the cards but old fat woman has sang yet

Yes, I believed it. At one point we were 11 points clear of 7th place. ELEVEN points!
It's been an unbelievable fall from grace.

I believed it. We were playing wonderful football. This current form is so bad it matches the worst performances under Pressley, and he had a lot to contend with off the pitch.

I'm waiting for the pessimism now with outrageous statements that TM is no good etc etc. This happens in football nothing to do with our history. Conventional wisdom suggest our form will improve just in time as other results have gone our way recently which keeps us in the hunt. TM must galvanize them now quickly starting Saturday and he thankfully is the experience we need to get through this and pick it up again. Form might be poor but that is due a change.

It's done now. We somehow are still in top 6 with a better GD than others around. We have 3 winnable games on paper to follow - but on paper means nothing. These players need to show some of the desire and commitment from the first half of the season.
Did we honestly expect it would be an easy ride?? We're CCFC for fucks sake.
